Hi there! I’m Dr. Abdulhadee Yakoh, and this is the official site of my research group at the Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Chulalongkorn University.
We’re a small but passionate team working on biosensors — particularly compact, low-cost, and user-friendly devices for detecting pathogens, toxins, and other important molecules. Whether it’s a test strip for a farm, a DNA sensor for disease diagnosis, or a paper-based electrochemical device for food safety, our goal is the same: make science practical and accessible.
I earned my Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Chulalongkorn University in 2018 and have since been working as a researcher and lecturer here.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to collaborate internationally — in Japan, Spain, and France — and also lead projects supported by both national and international partners.
Outside of research, I enjoy mentoring students, building collaborations, and always trying to improve how we communicate science to wider audiences.

Our work sits at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and engineering. We focus on:
DNA-based detection: Using simple platforms (like strips or chips) to identify genetic material from viruses and bacteria.
Electrochemical sensors: Measuring tiny electrical signals to detect analytes with high sensitivity.
Paper-based diagnostics: Affordable tools that work outside the lab — like in the field, clinics, or even homes.
Microfluidics and printed electronics: For improving how samples flow and signals are read.
